BCL Industries has halted further capacity expansion in grain-based ethanol citing industry overcapacity following recent additions. Grain ethanol capacity utilisation is expected to remain stable compared to last year, with grain-based ethanol share in overall supply rising to 80-90%. Leveraging its paddy straw procurement experience, the company plans to invest in a 20-tonne-per-day CBG plant under the GOBARdhan scheme. The company also notes that edible oil price trends reflect a global commodity super cycle.
